Spacious, beautifully decorated house! Just off the beaten path...within minutes of the Bluegate theater...and everything! Our group of 8 loved the house and the views off the porch. The owners were very welcoming and came to greet us and to say goodbye at the end of our stay. Just wished we could have stayed longer!!

Lovely location and home

Our stay was very special because of the location and the lovely home. Our hosts were friendly and provided every thing we needed for a 4 night stay including fresh breakfast rolls left on the kitchen island. We did a lot of sightseeing and the house is very convenient to surrounding towns.

This property sits in a beautiful country setting but still just a few minutes from the shops in town. The hosts were wonderful and the house was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you have a group of 6-10 people.

Our 6th Annual girl trip the house was beautiful and roomy the only down fall was the owner lived downstairs and we felt like more like a bed and breakfast. We didnt have the full run of the home. There wasn’t a TV in the main living room it was up stairs in a bed room and no stereo or speaker for music. Should have brought our own. Unfortunately the last day we lost water 3 hours before departure so we couldn’t use the shower or toilet. Overall we shopped the flea market had fun and the place was beautiful and clean!

Sibling Get-together

This is a fantastic place to gather for any type of intimate family gathering. Ours was four siblings & spouses--all senior citizens. The location is private, spacious, with beautiful views, and yet, it is close to local attractions. We would definitelly stay here again.
